Ritus Institute Of Dance

I have been running the dance classes here at Ritus Institute Of Dance for quite some time now. We are located right in AH Wadia Baug, over in Parel, specifically in Flat No 110. It is a bit of a trek up if you are not used to the building layout, but most people around Chembur know the spot well enough. The space isn’t like those big, shiny studios you see on TV with mirrors on every single wall and professional stage lighting. It is just a regular flat we have converted so people have a place to practice their steps without being judged by everyone passing by. Usually, the afternoons get pretty loud with the music, especially when the younger kids arrive after their school day ends. We try to keep things simple here. If someone wants to learn a bit of rhythm or just needs to get out of the house and move around, they show up. There isn't a strict uniform or anything like that, just wear clothes you can breathe in. I started this because there wasn’t much else for dancers in this part of Parel that didn't cost a fortune. Sometimes the music carries out into the hallway, but the neighbors are mostly used to it by now. We spend a lot of time just drilling the basic footwork until everyone gets it right. It is a small operation, really just a few of us making sure the classes run on time and the floor stays swept. If you are looking for a fancy lobby, you won't find it here.
